Conservation of Ag Water Supplies
Program Description: To assist agricultural water users in quantifying water use, conserving existing water use through irrigation audits, and reducing dependence on ground water and surface water supplies through agricultural water catchments.
Program Purpose: Our ultimate goal is to conserve the use of Georgia's ground water and surface water by agricultural water users.
Program Goals: To increase the uniformity and efficiency of ag water irrigation systems, to obtain and manage quality data on agricultural water use for state policy makers, and to construct/renovate agricultural water catchments for irrigation of cropland in South Georgia using federal funds.
